What percentage of the pound WC rating represents the maximum propane capacity when filling a cylinder by weight?

70%
80%
90%
100%

The correct answer is: 80%

The correct choice regarding the percentage of the pound Water Capacity (WC) rating that represents the maximum propane capacity when filling a cylinder by weight is indeed 80%. This percentage is significant because it ensures safety during the filling process. Propane expands as temperatures rise, and filling a cylinder to 100% of its WC rating would not allow for this expansion, leading to a risk of overpressure and potential rupture of the cylinder. By filling to only 80% of the WC rating, there is adequate space that allows for the expansion of propane gas without exceeding safe pressure limits. Thus, the practice of filling cylinders to 80% ensures both the safe handling of propane and compliance with regulatory standards, minimizing hazards associated with propane storage and usage.
